Jan Sloves: Understanding Iliofemoral DVT – What You Can’t Afford to Miss
Jan Sloves, President and Consultant at Vascular Imaging Professionals LLC, shared on LinkedIn:
”Understanding Iliofemoral DVT: What You Can’t Afford to Miss
Here’s an excellent real-world example — a symptomatic 57-year-old female being treated for breast CA who presented to the ER with an iliofemoral DVT.
On duplex, you can clearly see the thrombus wrapping around the femoral head and extending up toward the confluence.
What’s really important to remember is that in about 80% of patients with iliofemoral DVT, there’s an underlying proximal stenosis — often masked by overlying arterial structures.
When you take a closer look at the posterior wall, you can actually appreciate the intraluminal changes that have developed over time.
These subtle findings tell a bigger story about chronicity and hemodynamic impact — and they’re key to guiding the right treatment decisions.
If you’re passionate about understanding these nuances and improving your scan interpretation, join our growing community at Ultrasound Unlocked — a place where sonographers and physicians learn, share, and refine their craft together.”
